Windy Map in Belchertown Skin

[Karen K]

Does someone know, if there is any way to activate the Windy weather forecast within the Windy map window?

In general, they offer that, as there configuration window shows. The Belchertown skin uses that iframe to embed the map. There ist one option within the Windy URL named "calendar" which is empty for the normal layout and "now" for including the forecast. Within the options, the window itself offers, I found no item to switch it on or off. 

It would be nice, if the user could switch it on and off within the skin.

Hi kk44 try this

By accident I found I could get the Windy weather forecast on the Windy radar map by adding my station position marker. This is one of the options listed in the General Options table on the README.md page for Belchertown on GitHub.

To do this you need to modify the Belchertown skin.conf file  by adding

radar_marker = 1

to the # General Site Defaults list of the [Extras] section.

This puts a big flag on the Windy radar map corresponding to your location with an orange down arrow at the right hand edge. If you click on the orange down arrow it opens up a panel in the bottom half of the Windy map with a 5 day forecast (which can be extended to 10 days). The flag disappears and you get a pulsing circle at your location.

Regards, Paul

Oh, tank you. I will try this.
